Ideas Journal• Record your thoughts and questions about
perception and cognition• Keep track of your ideas - you never know
when you’re going to have a good one!
• You will be graded on how good your ideas are!

A Good Idea:• “the size of your eye has to be just right to
match the focusing power of the cornea. How does the eye know when to stop growing? Is it because the brain tells it to stop when images are clearly focused? We could test this by looking at the size of the eyeballs in children who are born with cataracts since their brains don’t get accurate visual information from their eyes”

A Bad Idea:• “Matt was wearing a blue sweater today. I like
blue. Blue is my favorite color. I wish I had a blue sweater.”

•See cool illusions
•Notice (and begin thinking about) the mysteries of
perception and cognition
![Page 16: ion](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815f35550346895dce04ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

•Visual Illusions happen in your visual system
•Optical illusions occur when the physical stimulus itself is
distorted

Attention and Perception
•Your perception of a rich visual environment is an illusion!
•You actually are only aware of the small part of the scene that you are
attending to
![Page 44: ion](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56815f35550346895dce04ef/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Attention and Perception
•Change Blindness: you can’t notice changes in a scene unless you
attend to the location of the change
